It illustrates the application of numerical methods to solve engineering problems with mathematical models and introduces students to the use of computer applications to solve problems. A continuous step-by-step build up of the subject makes the book very student-friendly. All topics and sequentially coherent subtopics are carefully organized and explained distinctly each chapter.
Mechanics is the fundamental branch of physics whose two offshoots, static and dynamics, find varied application in thermodynamics, electricity and electromagnetism. Engineering Mechanics is a simple yet insightful textbook on the concepts and principles of mechanics in the field of engineering. Written in a comprehensive manner, Engineering Mechanics greatly elaborates on the tricky aspects of the motion of particle and its cause, forces and vectors, lifting machines and pulleys, inertia and projectiles, juxtaposition them with relevant, neat illustrations, which make the science of engineering mechanics an interesting study for aspiring engineers. The authors have packaged the book, Engineering Mechanics, with a huge number of theoretical questions, numerical problems and a highly informative objective-type question bank. The book aspires to cater to the learning needs of BE/BTech students and also those preparing for competitive exams.
This class-room tested book, representing the teaching experience of over two decades by the authors, is designed to cater to the needs of senior undergraduate and first-year postgraduate students of civil engineering for a course in Advanced Structural Analysis/Matrix Methods of Structural Analysis/Computer Methods of Structural Analysis. The book endeavours to fulfil two principal objectives. First, it acquaints students with the matrix methods of structural analysis and their underlying concepts and principles. Second, it demonstrates the development of well-structured computer programs for the analysis of structures by the matrix methods. After a thorough presentation of the mathematical tools and theory required for linear elastic analysis of structural systems, the text focuses on the flexibility and stiffness methods of analysis for computer usage. The direct stiffness method which forms the backbone of most computer programs is also discussed. Besides, the physical behaviour of structures is analyzed throughout with the help of axial thrust, shear force, bending moment and deflected shape diagrams. A large number of worked-out examples are included to amplify the concepts and to illustrate the effect of external loads, including the effect of temperature, lack of fit, and settlement of supports, etc. The CD-ROM contains many illustrative computer programs and the usage of modern packages such as Excel and Matlab. The book will also be a useful reference for practising structural engineers who wish to pursue the versatility of matrix methods as a tool for computer applications.
Explains the fundamental concepts and principles underlying the subject, illustrates the application of numerical methods to solve engineering problems with mathematical models, and introduces students to the use of computer applications to solve problems. A continuous step-by-step build up of the subject makes the book very student-friendly. All topics and sequentially coherent subtopics are carefully organized and explained distinctly within each chapter. An abundance of solved examples is provided to illustrate all phases of the topic under consideration. All chapters include several spreadsheet problems for modeling of physical phenomena, which enable the student to obtain graphical representations of physical quantities and perform numerical analysis of problems without recourse to a high-level computer language. Adequately equipped with numerous solved problems and exercises, this book provides sufficient material for a two-semester course. The book is essentially designed for all engineering students. It would also serve as a ready reference for practicing engineers and for those preparing for competitive examinations. It includes previous years' question papers and their solutions.
